It's been mind numbing cold here in Toronto for the last couple weeks, as it has elsewhere. Truth be told I absolutely LOVE when it gets incredibly cold because of the image opportunities it creates. Though I live in a metropolis of 6+ million people, I live walking distance from the shores of one of the Great Lakes which is wondrously transformed when it gets ravaged by Ole Man Winter. Here is a sample of a few of the images I've taken while wearing 2 pairs of sock, long johns and two winter coats.
And here is a link to a gallery of more: https://www.flickr.com/search/?sort=...N02&view_all=1

Stay warm my friends. Pray for more chilling temperatures and embrace winter!

We call that 'pancake ice' in Chicagoland. I live directly on the lakefront, and I agree that winter/sub-freezing is the most beautiful time of year for the Great Lakes.

I've had enough of this cold but I'm glad I don't have to deal with the east coast snow storms. I haven't owned a shovel since I moved here.

Give it a few months and it will be so hot and humid we'll forget this ever happened.

Beautiful pictures for sure, but I'll stick with the winters down in the southeast.
